The Ibero-American medicinal products authorities meetings provide a forum to discuss between European and Ibero-American authorities the technical, scientific and public health requirements as well as technical details for the electronic exchange of pharmacovigilance information.

The objective of the call was to ensure an efficient and smooth organisation of these meetings and to assist the experts who attended the conferences.

A general meeting gathering representatives of International Institutions (WHO, PAHO and Council of Europe), the European Commission and EMEA together with other Portuguese speaking countries and Latin American countries took place in 2007/2008. The follow up of activities is done through meetings between the Secretariat of these meetings and the chairpersons of the different working groups.
